I've marked your issue for further investigation, but am backlogged this week.

Anybody? Various other namespaces seem to have definitions for date values, but I haven't been successful in loading up other namespaces in XML docs for Flex consumption. And I'm not convinced it would work even if I did... seems like the date value would *still* need to be in a format that Flex could understand internally, not based on some other namespace that it knows nothing about. ANY help would be appreciated. Thanks, -Carl --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "carl_steinhilber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Alex, > > Sure.
